    And to the people who say they fight nothing alike:

    They are both defensive wizards and technical masters. That is why they are in the same conversation.

    what do you want me to say?
    boxing is a learning curve

    Floyd still has speed, but more importantly, he has the wisdom of experience to go with it

    no point dwelling on the past

    Well, all I did was ask if you thought he won or lost that fight. I'm hardly dwelling on the past.

    And to Floyd's credit, he learned a lot in that fight and went on to do a lot better in the rematch.

    If Rigo was a better version of Floyd he would have said my health come first to Donaire.

    He's certainly a more boring version. Besides who gives a crap about the small midgets.

    I agree Rigo is even more skilled then Floyd, i'm not hating on Floyd he is a genius but honestly if Rigo was a WW he would outbox even Mayweather he is the most skilled fighter i've ever seen since watching boxing

    Anytime haters get a chance to pour dirt on Floyd they relish it so it's not surprising to hear that crap being spread. I don't agree and here's why, He doesn't execute his arsenal as fluid and seamlessly as Floyd. He's a little stiff and you can see him thinking a lot of times before he delivers. You can't do that with Floyd. Floyd is more versatile and because his playbook is a lot bigger than Rigondeaux's. Rigs uses what he's got brilliantly but when he runs outa moves, Floyd will still have new ones to use.

    When Rigo goes through 1/4 of the resume floyd has, you let us true boxing fans know.

    Their styles are not even similar and I got a feeling that the thread is made to bash Floyd as usual.

    Well Rigo was a two times olympic champion. This fact equate easily a 20-0 record plus let us say world champion accolate in two weight classes ... :happy. Even the great Mayweather wasn't able to take gold at the olimpics ...
